Book Reviews of Circular Work in Carpentry and Joinery
Book Review: Practical, Scholarly, and Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Such a cool book. Operating on the premise that Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture represent a high point in interior design and in carpentry in particular, the publishers have created a brilliant, annotated version of George Collins' book on circular carpentry work. The Collins book became a standard work, reprinted through the 19th and into the 20th century. But here we have a side-by-side format -- a facsimile of the original book accompanied by modern illustations and annotations. The result is somewhat interdisciplinary: a book about carpentry that has things to communicate about design, architecture and particularly the methods of communicating 3-D processes through a 2-D medium. Swoon.
